Cupra Ateca SUV
The Cupra Ateca is an accomplished performance SUV at a tempting price but it's a little short on character
Athletic looks
Muscular engine
Impressive handling
Unfamiliar brand
High fuel consumption
SEAT Ateca more sensible
The emergence of the performance SUV speaks volumes about the increasing popularity of high-riding models among UK buyers, so it's perhaps no surprise that Cupra, the performance sub-brand of SEAT, chose to launch a sporty version of the Ateca as its first car.
Several manufacturers now offer a performance SUV, with the Cupra Ateca going head to head with rivals such as the Volkswagen T-Roc R and the Audi RS Q3. Entrance into such a popular part of the market has helped Cupra establish its name, with the firm scheduled to add fast versions of the Leon hatchback and estate to its range in late 2020.
What's more, a genuine high-performance SUV is something of a world-first at this price point – the Skoda Kodiaq vRS is closely related beneath the surface but it's more economical diesel engine is far less powerful than the Cupra, whose turbocharged, 296bhp 2.0-litre petrol engine enables a 0-62mph time of just 5.2 seconds.
Its 152mph top speed is perhaps less relevant but indicates the considerable potential that lurks under what is quite a discreet and slightly understated appearance. Only a sporty bodykit, model-specific bronze alloy wheels and Cupra badges distinguish it from how the standard SEAT Ateca looks.
Sporty Alcantara suede seats and a Cupra steering wheel badge help to set the mood, but the real difference comes when you find a twisty road. With SEAT's 4 Drive four-wheel-drive system and five selectable driving modes, the Cupra offers a very different driving experience from behind the wheel compared with a standard Ateca, with a hugely responsive engine, rapid-fire gear changes, and a crackling exhaust.
It manages this without affecting its day-to-day suitability as a family car. If you can forgive 38.1mpg as best-case fuel economy, the Cupra Ateca remains a comfortable, practical five-seater, and its 485-litre boot is only a shade smaller than in a front-wheel drive Ateca.
The Cupra Ateca is a very tempting package, as the higher price and slightly increased running costs over the standard model will be justifiable for most given the extra performance and handling prowess. It's also a far more entertaining car to drive than the diesel-powered Skoda Kodiaq vRS SUV, which is also more expensive.
Cupra Ateca's fuel economy can be reasonable if you drive calmly but consumables are pricey
With a turbocharged 296bhp 2.0-litre petrol engine and distinctly aggressive styling, it's clear that fuel economy wasn't the top priority when the Cupra Ateca was designed. A potential 32.5mpg is claimed but during our time with the car, fuel economy was stuck in the high twenties.
With CO2 emissions of 168g/km, those who choose a Cupra Ateca as their company car will end up with a fairly high Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) tax bill. By comparison, the most powerful petrol model of the standard SEAT Ateca attracts a mid-range BiK banding.
Routine maintenance for the Cupra Ateca should cost little more than the SEAT version, with service intervals that follow the same fixed or variable pattern depending on how many miles you expect to cover per year. Annual servicing is recommended if you cover fewer than 12,000 miles annually, while those who cover a lot of motorway miles and expect to rack up more than that figure in a year's driving might find variable servicing more suitable.
All Cupra Ateca owners can cover their cars under the Cupra Care Premium servicing monthly subscription program. This covers all normal services costs, including technical inspections. Do be aware, though, that the Cupra's high performance tyres and bigger brakes are not covered by this plan, and will be more expensive to replace when worn than those of any other Ateca.
296bhp gives the Cupra Ateca impressive performance, and it's no slouch through the corners
The real headline story, and something that sets the Cupra apart from the more humdrum SEAT Ateca on which it's based, is the way it accelerates. Thanks to a turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine that's very closely related to the one in the Volkswagen Golf R, the Cupra Ateca is capable of blistering pace, with a 0-62mph time of just 5.2 seconds. This makes it quick enough to outpace popular hot hatchbacks like the Renault Megane RS and the Ford Focus ST.
Keeping the revs between 3,000 and 6,000rpm makes the Cupra feel even quicker than its official figures suggest. Between 40 and 70mph, the explosive pace from the turbocharged engine feels seriously quick. At higher speeds, the engine sounds better thanks to a clever sports exhaust that keeps the car quieter at lower speeds.
The Cupra proves more than capable of handling a typically twisty British B-road at pace, despite its relatively hefty weight of 1,623kg. Here, you'll enjoy choosing your driving mode from the five on offer, with 'Cupra' the most aggressive. Select it and the suspension dampers become stiffer, the accelerator responds more crisply and the gearbox and steering react more sharply.
This allows the Cupra Ateca to tackle corners with surprisingly little body lean, the price being a firm ride that might not please your passengers. You can individually manage all the parameters that the Cupra mode takes to the max, and can ally the most responsive engine and gearbox modes with a softer ride should you wish to. Meanwhile, the 4Drive four-wheel drive system lends reassurance on damp, greasy or loose surfaces with plenty of usable grip. A dedicated off-road mode is also available for occasional use on moderately rough terrain.
While the Ateca is capable of holding its own on back roads, thanks in part to hugely powerful brakes, it's not as involving as a traditional hot hatch such as the Volkswagen Golf GTI. The Cupra Ateca feels cumbersome by comparison, with a lack of feel in both the steering and brakes making you feel a little removed from the driving experience.
The Cupra Ateca is a very quick car, particularly considering its SUV dimensions, and the crackling exhaust and sheer pace are exhilarating, but it's just not engaging enough to match a traditional hot hatch for sheer driving pleasure.
Subtle changes bring Cupra Ateca a suitably sporty interior
While the Cupra Ateca is sufficiently pumped up on the outside to distance itself from its SEAT-badged stablemates, the relationship is more starkly obvious inside. The architecture is unchanged from the SEAT Ateca, and that's no bad thing in itself – the dashboard is smart, up-to-date and tidily arranged, while the materials in its construction have all the quality we've come to expect from the Volkswagen group.
Where the Cupra differs is in its detailing, with contrasting copper stitching and bold Cupra logos on the Alcantara suede sports seats, and a Cupra logo on the boss of the leather steering wheel. As a flagship model, the Cupra Ateca has a long list of standard equipment, including the VW Group's active info display; a driver-configurable digital instrument panel that lets you choose from five different dial displays. There's a simple to use eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system with sat nav, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Despite being largely a styling exercise on the standard Ateca interior, the Cupra really does manage to feel genuinely sporty inside, and that speaks volumes about how well SEAT's mid-size SUV is designed.
Cupra Ateca SUV is barely any less versatile than SEAT-badged sister
Sharing as they do a five-door, five-seater body, there's little change from the standard Ateca where the Cupra's versatility is concerned. As mentioned above, the two cars are somehow very different in feel, and a lot of that comes down to the height difference.
The Cupra's suspension is lowered by 10mm - it's a small amount but it makes a world of difference. Elsewhere, there's little to split the two breeds of Ateca. There's the same generous amount of interior space that allows four to travel in comfort without complaint about legroom or headroom. A child will sit quite comfortably in the centre rear seat, and even adults sitting three abreast won't have their shoulders to badly squashed.
The only area in which the Cupra is compromised as a family workhorse is in boot space, but its slight drop from 510 to 485 litres of luggage room is hardly the end of the world. Four-wheel drive is the reason for this, as the boot floor is slightly higher to make space for a rear differential. Many will say that's a compromise well worth making, as the '4Drive' system is billed as key to the Cupra Ateca driving experience.
Cupra will build on SEAT's reputation for owner satisfaction, while safety seems assured
As a brand that exists in its own right, Cupra is in its infancy, which makes it tricky to predict how its cars will fare in our annual Driver Power owner satisfaction surveys. While it seems obvious to draw comparisons to SEAT – Cupra's parent company – differences in owner expectations between the two brands could make such a judgement irrelevant.
The Cupra Ateca is similar enough to the SEAT Ateca for the latter's 58th place finish in our 2019 survey to provide reassurance to potential Cupra customers. Ateca owners are very happy with the interior design and comfort of their cars, as well as the infotainment, connectivity and convenience features fitted. Most were impressed by the Ateca's space and practicality, too.
Perhaps most relevant of all to Cupra buyers is the Ateca's strong result in the arena of ride and handling. However, while reliability and quality were praised, a worrying one in five owners reported at least one fault in the first year of ownership.
There should be few concerns over safety. The Ateca holds a EuroNCAP five-star rating after crash testing, including an impressive 93% score for adult occupant protection and 84% for child occupant protection. Autonomous emergency braking (AEB) is standard, and additional crash mitigation technology such as lane keeping assistance is available.
The Cupra Ateca has no direct rivals, but lacks a prestigious image
If you really want to unlock the full potential of the Cupra Ateca, there's an optional Performance Pack that includes even bigger, more powerful brakes from Brembo. Extra supportive seats are also optional, as are gloss-black door mirror housings and special 20-inch alloy wheels.
While the features above are all very tempting, they're unlikely to make a huge difference to your Cupra Ateca ownership experience. Until other marques follow suit, this is currently the only genuinely high-performance SUV you can buy at this price point. The Skoda Kodiaq vRS – arguably the Ateca's closest rival – is diesel powered and nothing like as quick as the Cupra, even if it has the Spanish car soundly beaten on fuel economy.
It takes a considerably more expensive Porsche Macan or Audi SQ5 to beat the Ateca's sporty SUV credentials, but consider whether the extra performance is really worth spending significantly more money. It's also worth bearing in mind that the most powerful 187bhp SEAT Ateca 2.0-litre diesel is far cheaper to buy, much less expensive to run and still a very enjoyable SUV to drive.
There's also the question of image. While many will appreciate the history of the badge, it remains to be seen whether Cupra can garner the prestige of AMG, Audi's S or BMW's M divisions, or whether it'll always be perceived as merely a faster SEAT.

Q: How do I use/read an api documentation to send a simple request? I know this is probably strictly case-specific, but I do feel like I encounter this problem a lot so I will make an effort to try and understand it better.
I am new to using APIs, but I have never succeeded in using one without copying someone's code. In this case, I can't even find any examples on forums, nor in the API documentation.
I'm trying to pull my balance value from my investment bank "NordNet" to scroll, amongst other things, on an Arduino display I've made. Right now I use python Selenium to automatically but "physically" login to NordNet and grab my balance from the DOM. As I'm afraid I might get "punished" for such botted behavior, and because the script is fairly high maintenance (as the HTML changes over time), I would obviously much rather get this information through NordNet's new API.

Link to NordNets API doc
Every time I try to utilize an API doc it's always the same, it looks easy, but I can never get it to work.
This time I tried to just play a little with the API before exploring further.
I use PostMan to send the simplest request:
https://www.nordnet.se/api/2
And I get a successful code 200 JSON response.
I then try to take it a step further to access my account data using this endpoint:
https://www.nordnet.se/api/2/accounts
For this one, I obviously need some authentication of some sort
The doc looks like this:

So I set my PostMan client up like this and get the response showcased:

I've put my NordNet login into the "Auth" tab as "basic auth" and I then see PostMan encrypts this info some way, in the "Headers" tab.

I'm getting an unauthorized response code and I have no idea why. Am I using PostMan wrong (probably)? Is the API faulty (probably not)? There is a mention of a session_id that should contain both password and username? Maybe something completely else...
I hope you can help

A: The documentation says to use session_id as username and password for that api ,
so try logging in and then get the session id (try with both sid and ssid) . from network tab and pass it as username and password for authorization .
sid- is for http and ssid for https i guess , try with both

In early 2018 Katerina Soldatou finally realised her dream of performing on the largest and most celebrated modern bridge in Greece – Rio Antirrion Bridge. The bridge itself is a marvel of modern engineering, spanning the Corinthian gulf for almost 3km, and built to withstand the strong winds and currents found at the isthmus to the gulf. It has created a passage for locals and non locals, and bridged the peloponnese with Central Greece providing a more efficient route to the Northern territories.
Katerina's goal was to hang under the highest part of the bridge and do her thing. The problems faced were not unexpected but also not easy to overcome. Bureaucracy is Greece's favourite method of communication and we were in no shortage of it. Phone calls and emails to the management of the bridge, and the coast guard, and the crew made this mission much more "official" than some of the others we've undertaken. Nonetheless the result was clear, and the doors had been opened to slay the beast.
We began by setting up the outdoor shoot, rigging Katerina's ropes from the outer railing of the paved topside. Vassilis Theodorou was once again in the hot seat. After a couple hours the rigging was set and we were on schedule to start rolling. Katerina did her warmup exercises, while pacing nervously up and down the pavement. Once it was time, Vassili strapped her in, and once again she gave him her full trust and attention before being lowered down below the deck, carrying the 40kg of white fabric down with her.
Spiro was on the ground, over by the Northern side of the bridge, ready to take off, while I was dangling over Katerina close to the rigging point for a birds eye view shot.
The scene was set. She was ready to go. She dropped the fabric, and locked into the zone, moving effortlessly it seemed through manoeuvres and positions, dancing with the fabric as if it was an extension of her body. Tourists gathered to watch, and boats came close to see the action. Meanwhile the drone was circling around her capturing every moment of this beautiful performance until….
The drone went out of sight, under the bridge, and Badios was now flying completely blind. After a few attempts to get it into sight, he decided to press the Return to Home Button, sending the drone on an epic adventure to try and find its way back to him. Whilst Spiro couldn't see anything, the drone was actually still filming. First it tried to go up over the giant bridge pillar, as it's designed to do. It tried a few times but kept skimming the undercarriage of the bridge, until finally disaster struck. The propellers hit a steel beam which sent them flying off into the wind, and the drone began a spiral descent to its watery grave. With no chance of flying properly, it was doomed to a life of salty short circuits, and little chance of retrieval. But wait! Out of nowhere – the steel safety platform, only 2x3m wide, was fixed to the side of the pillar. And the drone falls perfectly onto the platform, almost perfectly upright! Katerina was the first to notice it, still hanging below the deck, fabric flying in the wind, and as soon as we all saw it, we literally couldn't believe our eyes. Had the drone been lost we would have had to redo the entire performance, and the light was dying and the wind was picking up… it would have been a disaster.
We packed up all the gear and headed back to the base building for a regroup. With the knowledge that the drone was now safe, we began our next mission, a second performance inside the belly of one of the giant hollow pillars. We would be about 40m below sea level, inside the giant steel tubes that form the base of the bridge. Vassili began rigging again, while the rest of us planned out our positions and took some all important instagram pics for our stories.
Once we were ready, Katerina lowered herself into the void, and began moving into position. The space was a complete contrast to the previous performance, and felt more like a giant fishbowl than a contemporary feet of engineering. The echoes were endless, and any sound was amplified to the point of being almost too much to handle.
Then, when everyone was dead quiet, Katerina starts singing. She busts out this version of "I put a spell on you", right there, 40m above the bottom of the tower, in the fishbowl, with echoes going nuts, and everyone completely captivated by the sound. Kudos for that!
She wrapped up the performance with some beautiful moves, giving us, the camera guys, a chance to capture some last different shots from different locations within the tower.
Once we packed up and surfaced back up onto the bridge, and Spiro had retrieved his slightly destroyed drone from the platform, we gathered by the base building for a final debrief and a quick look at some of the shots. We knew instantly we had got something unique, spectacular and beautiful. The mission was complete, and no one had a bigger smile on their face than Katerina.

Leon, Andrew (1841–1920)
by G. C. Bolton and Kathryn Cronin
View Previous Version
Andrew Leon (1840?-1920), businessman, was born in China, probably Zhongshan county, Guangdong province. After some experience of tropical agriculture in the West Indies, including two years in Cuba, he settled in Queensland from 1866 where the Palmer gold rush was later to attract many Chinese. Closely aligned with business interests established by several Hong Kong firms at Cooktown, where he was manager of Sun Yee Lee & Co. and associated with Sun Tung Lee, he became a partner in the trading firm Sun Chong Lee at Cairns. On 8 February 1869 at St Mary's Catholic Church, Bowen, he married Irish-born Mary Picket (Piggott), a general servant.
In 1878 and 1879 Leon took up 1,250 acres (505 ha) near Cairns for tropical agriculture in which the Hap Wah Company, formed of Chinese traders in Hong Kong and local businessmen, invested £45,000. Having planted cotton and sugar, in 1882 the syndicate crushed the first cane processed in the Cairns district, exporting both cotton and cane sugar. The Hap Wah plantation was entirely Chinese-run, with up to 200 employees, the only European being an engineer and sugar-boiler. With improved machinery, increasing skill and 400 acres (162 ha) under cane, the Hap Wah's pioneer efforts won wide respect in North Queensland, but falling sugar prices and the lack of capital hit them and the rest of the industry in the mid-1880s. In 1886 the plantation land was sold for £15,000 to the Charters Towers mining magnate, Thomas Mills, and its cane and machinery to a group of Cairns merchants, who lost heavily in the speculation. In 1888 Leon bought a 1,280 acres (518 ha) selection above the Barron Valley for fruit-growing, where most of his energies were then directed, and he continued to invest in property. A convinced believer in tropical agriculture, Leon had nearly succeeded in a venture which had implications for the future of the sugar industry and the concept of White Australia. Hap Wah's closure can be attributed to a number of factors that affected the Queensland sugar industry at the time, primarily the fall in world sugar prices by mid-1884, as well as the cost of labour. Even at the peak of the Hap Wah development, the returns barely covered the investments made; none of Cairns' three sugar plantations made a profit in this period: Hap Wah was sold, another was broken up into smaller parcels with a central mill, and the third relinquished.
Survived by his wife and two daughters, Leon died at Cairns on 27 June 1920 and was buried in Cairns Cemetery. As leader of a large group of Chinese in North Queensland and one of the most prominent members of the whole Cairns community, he was able to combine the best of both cultures. A naturalized citizen he was immersed in the social and business life of the European community in Cairns. He also represented the Chinese community in many matters, organising much of their business, acting as an interpreter, and serving as a trustee of the Lit Sung Goong Temple. His achievements and his social status posed great problems for anti-Chinese enthusiasts of the day.

I grew up in the next town over from the nursery - in Marbletown, more specifically, the hamlet of Lomontville. Before starting Catskill Native Nursery, I was an insect ecologist in academia. I have degrees from Williams College (Biology BA), the University of Iowa (Zoology MS) and the University of California at Davis (Zoology PhD). I did research post-doctorals at the Australian National University, Research School of Biological Sciences in Canberra (5 years); the University of Hawaii, Department of Entomology (2 years); and the University of South Carolina, Department of Biological Sciences (2 years). Most of my research involved insects that feed on plants so I was always growing plants to feed my insects. Other than that I've had no formal horticultural training or experience. As an ecologist though I 've had a long interest in the flora of whatever place I happened to be living in at the time. As a child, nature was a hobby - I was mostly interested in birds and woody plants. So, I grew up learning Catskill Mountain plants. I know the California flora pretty well, Australian flora not as well as I'd like, Hawaiian flora a little bit (most of it is overrun with invasive exotics) and some southern Appalachian flora. We started building the nursery in 1997, opened for business in 1999.
Green Witch Herbs & Garden Design was founded by my partner, Diane, in 2001, as a natural progression of growth in our nursery business. This allowed us to enhance our stock of native plants with a variety of garden favorites, including herbs, and take advantage of Diane's ability and training to create very special gardens. Diane's background includes studies in fine art, drawing, painting and architecture while living in New York City. She earned a BA in Art History from NYU, and has studied at Art Students' League. Her practical experience in gardening began as an apprentice at Peconic River Herb Farm on Long Island. She has studied horticulture at The Brooklyn Botanical Garden, and herbalism in the Catskills. Diane has had a long-time passion for plants, even when it could only be satisfied by tending a roof garden in Brooklyn (it takes dedication to carry 50 lb. bags of compost up three flights of stairs). She considers her official title to be Professional Peasant. You may visit her (sometimes weedy) display gardens at the nursery and marvel at her vegetable garden that has learned to take care of itself, since Diane is mostly off designing other people's gardens.
Galdur (on the left) and Brynja are our Icelandic sheepdogs. "Icies" are a rare breed created by Scandinavians 500 years ago to protect fish being dried on lines by barking away predator birds and to herd sheep and (we suspect) children. They enjoy making noise, mooching treats and sometimes doing a little valet parking. In this photo they are expressing their Viking heritage while looking out from our potting shed door, which is where they go when they need a time out from the excitement of helping to run a plant nursery.
Despite problems being few and far between, we respectfully ask that you leave your "fur kids" at home where they are safe, cool and have their own territory to roam.


Chassis no. 962 DR1(RLR 202). For three years, from 1985 through 1987, the Porsche 962 dominated sports car racing in North America, winning three GTP Manufacturer's Championships in a row. In 1988, however, rule changes quickly loosened Porsche's stranglehold on the IMSA Camel GT Championship. New restrictor-plate rules greatly reduced the effectiveness of the 962's turbocharged motor, as the limitations of its mechanically-controlled waste gates became painfully pronounced. Consequently, the 1988 season was quickly dominated by another turbocharged car, the Electramotive Nissan ZX-T, which featured an electronically-controlled waste gate. With no development support from the Porsche factory, it was left to the ingenuity of the customer teams to defend the Manufacturer's Championship. Rob Dyson knew if he wanted to win a fourth consecutive North American Porsche Cup for Dyson Racing, he would need something completely new for the 1988 season. Dyson turned to Silverstone-based Richard Lloyd Racing/GTi Engineering for a solution. RLR's re-engineered, Nigel Stroud-designed GTi 962 chassis were renowned throughout Europe for their superior aluminum composite honeycomb construction and state-of-the-art suspension and brake design. Dyson purchased RLR 202, the fifth of six GTi 962 chassis constructed, and commissioned FABCAR to further develop the car for IMSA sprint events. Upon completion, RLR 202 was renamed DR1 and subsequently sent out hunting. When DR1 appeared at West Palm Beach for the fifth round of the Championship, it was the quickest of the 962s, finishing Third Overall. Throughout the remainder of the 1988 season, DR1 would take two more podiums, including Porsche's final win of the season at San Antonio, where it broke Nissan's eight race winning streak. As the points-leading 962 of the 1988 season, DR1 is largely credited with clinching Porsche's final IMSA Manufacturer's Championship, beating Nissan by one point. In addition, DR1 secured Dyson Racing's fourth North American Porsche Cup and carried Price Cobb and James Weaver to Third and Fourth in the Driver's Championship, behind Nissan's Geoff Brabham and Jaguar's John Nielsen. At the end of the 1988 season, Dyson retired DR1. The car was later campaigned in selected IMSA events during the 1990 and 1991 seasons. Some time later, DR1 was acquired by noted collector George Stauffer, who subsequently sold it to enthusiast and vintage racer Larry Wilson. While owned by Mr. Wilson, DR1 was entered in several exhibition events, including Rennsport Reunion 11 (2004) and the Concours de Graylyn Car Festival (2006). The car was then sold to Rolex Sports Car Series driver Steve Goldin, who entered the car at Rennsport Reunion III (2007). DR1 has since been purchased by its current owner, who has continued to keep up its maintenance and care. Since being retired from professional racing in 1991, DR1 has had no traumatic experiences on or off the track. More importantly, during its thirteen race career in the hands of, among others, Price Cobb, Rob Dyson, John Paul Jr., James Weaver, and Bill Adam, it never suffered any significant or irreparable damage. DR1 still retains its original RLR/GTi chassis. Restored some years ago by Porsche specialist Paul Willison, DR1 has since been maintained by both Mr. Willison and specialists at SpeedWerks, in North Carolina. DR1 has recently undergone a thorough race preparation, at which time its single-turbo, air-cooled, 3.2-liter motor had its bearing seals, rings, and waste gates renewed, as well as having all four corners overhauled and a new fuel bag installed. As the car was constructed in 1988, it is eligible for all foreign and domestic IMSA GTP/Group C vintage events without restriction. While the provenance of DR1 is exceptional, perhaps what is most significant about the car is that it is the last IMSA Championship winning Porsche 962. As such, it is truly a noteworthy example of the marque and worthy of placement in any important collection of Porsches or sports racing cars and would remain today a fearsome competitor in historic sports prototype racing.

New research from Learning House aims to help colleges and universities think about the future of higher education. While many of the findings should not be a surprise to those inside the evolving educational landscape, "Growth Opportunities in Higher Education: Degrees and Alternate Pathways," may provide some external validation of strategic plans at colleges and universities across the country.
The report projects high-demand online bachelor's, master's, MBA and doctoral degree programs of the future, along with alternative learning pathways that are bound to gain in popularity.
"This research underscores that for higher education institutions to thrive, it's critical that they're flexible in how, where, and what they offer to students," said Learning House CEO Todd Zipper in a prepared statement.
That means an increase in online degree programs and new modalities like competency-based education, microdegrees, badges, stackable credentials and digital transcripts, among others.
Degrees identified by Learning House as representing growth potential for colleges and universities on the bachelor's side include computer science, health information management, market research, digital marketing, data science and project management. For master's degree programs, the e-learning services company repeats data science and project management and adds accounting, speech pathology and an MBA in IT management. Researchers expect universities will capture more students with Doctor of Business Administration, Doctor of Nursing Practice, and Doctor of Education programs.
Eric LaMott, provost and chief operating officer at Concordia University, St. Paul found much of the report to be good external validation that he and his team are on the right track. They have been designing programs for years now with the umbrella goal of being responsive, relevant and real - responding to student demands, focusing on core competencies that are relevant to students' career paths and putting those into real context with majors and degree programs.
One key strategy for Concordia has been avoiding a "separation of church and state" when it comes to online versus in person degree programs. Content experts have experience in all of the different modalities Concordia offers and at all the different degree levels.
The key areas Concordia has been targeting are in the business and health sciences space. That includes a new physical therapy degree with occupational therapy on tap next. Perhaps the least surprising growth area named in The Learning House report is the demand for data science, which Concordia, like so many other institutions, has been responding to. It also seems to be on the right track with a new Doctor of Education program.
The largest and fastest growing segment of Concordia University, St. Paul offerings is graduate students, who represent more than one-third of the entire population and are moving closer to half. The traditional population of 18- to 23-year-olds is about a third and the adult undergraduate population is slightly less than a third. The traditional student population is limited by the college's physical campus, but LaMott said the strategic plan includes growing the number of students coming to Concordia for a master's.
That seems to be the plan at a lot of institutions. Fully 70% of chief academic leaders surveyed about their futures said online education was going to be a big part of their strategy moving forward. Yet demand for online education is growing more slowly now than it has at any point in the last 20 years.
While there is always a concern of oversupply, one way Concordia plans to address that reality is maintaining a strong regional brand.
LaMott admits, however, that he's basically paid to be anxious because the higher education market is shifting all the time. The key, he said, is being mindful of it.

Geologists Mapping Underground Resources
Pull out a map and you'll find the Great Lakes area holds resources that no other place can claim. The region is rich in lakes and forests and scenic views. But a road map just covers the surface. We know much less about what's under the earth. Now, a team of geologists is working to map the resources under the ground. The Great Lakes Radio Consortium's Erin Toner reports:

Pull out a map and you'll find the Great Lakes area holds resources that no other
place can claim.
The region is rich in lakes and forests and scenic views. But a road map just
covers the surface.
We know much less about what's under the earth. Now, a team of geologists from the
Lakes states is working to map the resources under the ground. The Great Lakes Radio
Consortium's Erin Toner reports:
Look outside – look out your car window or into your backyard and try to erase
see. Take away the playgrounds and the concrete parking lots. Strip away the trees
and the grass
and the topsoil in your garden.
This is the way Kevin Kincare imagines the world. A picture of nothing except naked
– massive hills and cavernous valleys. All created by gigantic pieces of ice that
gouged and
ground their way down the globe from Canada. This would be the picture of Great
Lakes states
about 15-thousand years ago. It's the picture Kincare is slowly putting down on paper.
"This is a big chunk of granite and you can see this one side is flat and looks
polished. The
glacier was moving across. There's grooves right here. So this is the direction
the ice was
moving."
Kincare is a glacial geologist with the Michigan Department of Environmental
Quality. Six years
ago, he helped start the Central Great Lakes Geologic Mapping Coalition. It's a
group of
geologists from four states – Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Ohio – and the U.S.
Survey. They're working to put together a 3-D digital map of the region's glacial
geology.
They'll map everything down to the bedrock, which can be hundreds of feet below the
Earth's
The first step in geologic mapping is compiling information from local maps. After
that it's out
to the field.
At Tacy Brother's Gravel Pit, a massive machine is sorting big scoops of earth into
piles of sand,
gravel and rocks.
Kincare is now working on mapping a small county on Lake Michigan. He says looking
gravel pit is like looking at nature's record of thousands of years of changes to
"That starts to pull the whole story together. How the ice retreated across the
county from east to
west and where all the rivers that were carrying the melting glacier ice and
depositing thick
sections of sand, and where the glacial lakes were, where all the silt and clay was
dropping out."
Geologists say one of the most important uses for the maps is locating water
Nationally, Michigan ranks first in the number of people who use household wells to
get their
drinking water. Illinois, Ohio and Indiana rank among the top 15 in the nation for
water well use.
Gary Witkowski's job is to protect the environment in his county in southwest
Michigan. He says
the first step in protecting groundwater is knowing exactly where it is.
"It'd be a tremendous help for us if we could just go to a resource like this and
pull that
information. Not only to us, but, I mean, even to the developer, it would be a
major plus that they
could look at."
Knowing exactly what's under the ground also helps planners build in the right
places. And it
helps them avoid building in the wrong places. For example, planners can put
close to supplies of groundwater. They can discourage development on land rich in
minerals and
construction materials, such as sand and gravel. And they can make sure they don't
industrial plants in places that are especially vulnerable to pollution.
Dennis O'Leary is with the U.S. Geological Survey. He's helping Kevin Kincare with
the map.
"Those kinds of decisions that involve competing interests really can't be made
rationally unless
there's a body of knowledge, of fact, that relates to just what the question's all
about and that's
what these maps provide."
But it could be awhile before people have access to maps this detailed. The four
states in the
mapping coalition and the Geological Survey all have to share 500-thousand dollars a
year for the
project. That means Kevin Kincare can map only one county every three years. It
would take
two centuries just to finish his state.
"We'd have to have a lot of medical breakthroughs for me to finish this project."
Kincare says the maps are too important to wait that long. He says they need
20-million-dollars a
year from Congress. With that money, they could put together a complete geologic
map of the
Great Lakes region in about 16 years. Kincare says he's not optimistic they'll get
that kind of

Governments to Meter Water Use?
From industrial processing to backyard pools, millions of gallons
of Great Lakes water are used everyday. And for many people in the
region, that water is cheap. They live in towns where they pay a flat
no matter how much they use. That's something the International Joint
Commission wants to change. It's asking governments to start charging
people – and industry – for the real cost of their water. The Great

Controversy Over Clean-Up Funds
The most toxic hot spots around the Great Lakes would receive an extrafifty million dollars in clean-up funds, if a Clinton administrationbudget proposal goes through. But some environmental groups don't wantthe money dribbled out in small doses. They argue the best thing to dowould be to spend all the cash on comprehensive clean-up projects atjust a few sites. The idea is controversial, as the Great Lakes RadioConsortium's Chuck Quirmbach reports:

The most toxic hot spots around the Great Lakes would receive an extra fifty million dollars in
clean-up funds, if a Clinton Administration budget proposal goes through. But some environmental
groups don't want the money dribbled out in small doses. They argue the best thing to do would be
to spend all the cash on comprehensive clean-up projects at just a few sites. The idea is
controversial, as the Great Lakes Radio Consortium' s Chuck Quirmbach reports:
The most polluted parts of the Great Lakes are known as Areas
of Concern. There are over 40 of these hot spots in harbors and
bays, or in rivers that dump into the lakes. At many sites, the
pollution has led health agencies to tell people to be careful
about eating certain types of fish.
But that hasn't stopped some anglers from doing their thing.
"That was the best cast I've
seen today."
Marl and his buddy Paul are standing underneath an elevated
freeway in Milwaukee. They're casting their fishing lines into
Lake Michigan for brown trout, perch or whatever wants to bite.
Through Milwaukee's estuary, that's the harbor and nearby rivers, is a toxic hot spot, Marl says he
pays little attention to fish consumption warnings.
"Whatever I catch I eat, I eat it on whatever basis I feel like eating it. If I want to eat fish
every night for a week, I eat it… doesn't seem to affect me in any way."
But nearby in the Milwaukee harbor, researchers point to pollution that seems to make the casual
approach to fish consumption here quite risky.
(sound of horn)
This tugboat is pushing a barge that's about to take a load of coal from a huge coal pile at the
water's edge. The pile is uncovered and during heavy rains or snowmelt, there's runoff from the
coal into the harbor. Great Lakes researcher Jeffrey Foran says that's hardly the only pollutant in
the area.
"It's a virtual alphabet soup of pollution and we can name a few. PCBs, PAHs, contaminants from
sewage runoff historically, metals, cadmium chromium."
Foran heads the Great Lakes Water Institute at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee. He says
there's actually been some improvement in the surface water quality over the last couple decades.
But Foran warns the sediment in the Milwaukee harbor by and large remains toxic muck, and those
toxins make their way into the food chain. Foran says Milwaukee's problems aren't unique.
"If you took the problems and simply dropped the name Milwaukee harbor, you could insert those
problems into probably the majority of areas of concern throughout the Great Lakes basin."
Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent on cleanup work at the various sites, but only one
project – at Waukegan, Illinois – is largely done. So environmental groups hope Congress during its
EPA budget deliberations this spring will approve the extra 50 million dollars in cleanup funds
President Clinton proposed. But Great Lakes United executive director Margaret Wooster says the
money should be targeted to just a few hot spots.
"And do the complete cleanup right. From soup to nuts kind of thing. That is the initial making
sure if there's a polluter, polluter pays their fair share as has happened in many cases, to good
dredging techniques."
Wooster also says there needs to be good places to dump the dredged material. Then should come
monitoring to make sure the water body doesn't become fouled again, if there are more
success stories around the Great Lakes, environmentalists believe
lawmakers will then allocate additional money to finish work on
the other sites. But the Great Lakes community isn't completely
sold on the targeting of funds. William Smith is a citizen
advisor to the Clinton river area of concern north of Detroit.
He wonders how fast news of complete clean-ups would spread.
"And when these one demonstration projects are done,
they're distant. You hear about them the transfer of information
is long is coming. And sure it's nice for some harbor to go after
this. But if you're looking across the board on the Great Lakes
it would be much better used to go after problems in individual
Areas of Concern instead of 2 to 3 separate sites."
Smith says
funneling just a million or two dollars to some of Michigan's
smaller hot spots would move clean-up of those sites forward in a
big way. That's because state officials would probably match the
federal funds. But whether the federal money is targeted to a
couple sites or divided evenly in all the areas, Smith does agree
with the large environmental groups on one thing. He says the
recreation and drinking water needs of Great Lakes citizens
should prompt Congress to approve the president's plan.

Commentary – A New York State of Mind
Earlier this month (November), the U-S justice department filed the
latest in a string of lawsuits aimed at reducing pollution from coal
fired generating stations. As Great Lakes Radio Consortium
commentator Suzanne Elston points out, instead off wasting all their
time suing each other, the jurisdictions involved should follow the
example set by New York State:

E-Coli Found on Beaches
Scientific discoveries sometimes raise more questions than they
answer. That's been the case since scientists found e-coli bacteria in
the sand of some Great Lakes beaches. The Great Lakes Radio

Air pollution has always ignored state boundaries. And now, New York's
top lawyer is crossing state lines, as well. For the first time, an

Is Race Behind Effort to Block Development?
The battle of the Humbug Marsh is being fought just south of Detroit.
Developers have said they want to build upscale homes near the last stretch
of undeveloped wetland on the U-S side of the Detroit River.
Environmentalists are lobbying to defeat the deal. But developers say race

The third "Chat with the expert" is scheduled for Saturday, 11 January 2020 at L'Ideatorio, Cadro. The Journey into the complex world that is our brain will bring the audience into the field of neurology with Dr.med Claudio Städler, Head Physician of the Clinic of Neurology, at Neurocentro della Svizzera Italiana (EOC). "When the brain falls ill" is the title of the informal chat proposed by the neurologist, which will be held in Italian.
Unfortunately, there are many diseases that affect the brain and all of them are caused by different factors: "the most frequent are vascular diseases (heart attacks and brain haemorrhages), neurodegenerative diseases (among which the most frequent is Alzheimer's disease), inflammatory diseases (such as Multiple Sclerosis) and brain tumors," explains Städler. The neurologist's first step is therefore to identify the pathology, its severity and personal and social implications. But what happens in our brain when it is affected by a neurodegenerative disease? "For such diseases there is often an anomaly in the structure of specific proteins that play an important role in the functioning of neurons or glial brain cells. This, in a cascade mechanism, generally slow and insidious, leads to brain dysfunction and therefore to the appearance of neurological symptoms. Unfortunately, in most cases, when the patient shows the first signs of disease, this degenerative process is already well advanced and it is impossible to arrest it, at least at the current state of knowledge," explains Städler.
Städler earned his doctorate in medicine from the University of Basel in 1988 and was awarded a Swiss specialist title in neurology in 1996. His interest in this field stems from clinical practice: "I worked in the Neurology Service, then directed by a great clinical neurologist, Dr. Carlo Tosi, as part of my training in internal medicine - says Städler - I realised that understanding the origin of a disease in neurological patients, studying their pathophysiological processes and treating them in the acute and chronic phase, was very interesting and stimulating for me". He then decided to undertake training in this field in Lausanne and then in Paris, focusing above all on cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, in particular in Parkinson's. Since 2012 he has been head of the Neurology Clinic of the Neurocentro della Svizzera italiana , a multi-disciplinary entity that deals with very diverse fields. "As for Neurology - continues Städler - in order to ensure both clinical and scientific quality, we decided to focus on certain diseases, such as cerebrovascular diseases, movement disorders, neurodegenerative diseases (especially Parkinson's, Alzheimer's dementia, vascular dementia and other diseases that involve neuropsychological disorders), Multiple Sclerosis (and other neuroinflammatory diseases) up to sleep disorders and epilepsy.
In the previous chat, Luca Gambardella talked about artificial intelligence (AI): what role does AI play in understanding complex diseases? The relationship between AI and Neuroscience, and its ethical implications, will be discussed during Brain Week 2020, organised by Neurocentro della Svizzera italiana in collaboration with USI L'Ideatorio: "It is now difficult to predict if and when in our clinical activity we will be assisted by robots. Certainly it is no longer science fiction and these issues are also discussed in magazines dedicated to general practice - says Städler - It will be something that will change the way we work, but I'm sure that patients will always need doctors in the flesh and a human medicine in the true sense of the term".
Emiliano Albanese spoke about the important role played by public health in prevention and the personal relationship that should be established with the patient. Such reflections are also true for many neurological diseases. "If we talk about prevention, it is important to move between a general social dimension, and the daily reality of taking care of the patient, in which the personal relationship remains essential". The key word is precisely "relationship", a key element in the therapeutic process, in addition to the technological equipment that evolves rapidly: "we never cure and we will never cure diseases, but sick people" concludes Städler.

These wines were selected not only for their quality, but also for their commitment to organic and sustainable production. While the US has organic certification programs, others do not. However, many estate-bottled varietals are still produced as naturally as centuries ago. Other vintners, like Michigan's, use modern techniques married to traditional methods, often free of additives and chemicals (sulfites are inherent). Because of the lengthy and expensive organic certification process, small producers sometimes qualify but are not certified. Michigan wines also have a small carbon footprint from transport, unlike those from overseas.

Q: Perform 2 functions OnClick ReactJS hope you are all good.
I have button onclick that call 2 functions BUT it is not working and i dont have any errors displaying in the console, so i don't know where the problem is.
Here is my code
  <div className="d-grid gap-2">
            <Bouton btnCss = 'btn btn-success my-3'
             click= { () => { this.props.handleSubmit; this.setState({begin : true})}}>
              Commencer la tâche
             </Bouton>
            </div>
        </form>

            </>
        )
    }
}

export default withFormik({
    mapPropsToValues : () => ({
        tache : '',
        unite : '',
        commentaire : ''

    }),
    validationSchema : Yup.object().shape({
        tache : Yup.number()
        .required('Choisissez une tâche'),
        unite : Yup.number()
        .required('Choisissez une unite'),
        commentaire : Yup.string()
        .min(5, 'Le Texte est trop court')
        .required('Veuillez entre un texte')
    }),
    handleSubmit : (values, {props, resetForm}) => {
        resetForm();
        props.validation(values.tache, values.unite, values.commentaire);
    }
})
(taskForm)

Thank you for your help mates !

A: Why don't you call one function, that calls the next two functions? Something like this:
handleClick() {
   function1();
   function2();
}

<Bouton btnCss = 'btn btn-success my-3'
             onClick= { () => { this.handleClick() }}>
              Commencer la tâche
             </Bouton>

You can always add async/await if you need to wait for the 1st one to complete before you fire the 2nd one.

A: You are not calling your this.props.handleSubmit
It should be this.props.handleSubmit()
When you were previously calling your function you were using:
<Bouton click= {this.props.handleSubmit}>Commencer la tâche</Bouton>

You were in fact passing to your custom component a reference to the function that will be called when the button is clicked.
The button then calls the function. You could say the onClick function adds the ()
Like you would when you're getting a callback in your arguments:
const functionWithACallback = (callback) =>
{
   // Do stuff
   callback();
}

However now what you are doing is passing an anonymous function to be called when your button is clicked. You're passing:
() => {
    this.props.handleSubmit;
    this.setState({begin : true})
}

However here, this.props.handleSubmit is never called.
Also comments made and the other answer are the good practices to follow namely:

*

Mausjaur – Pt 1
by Lee Ridley • January 16, 2005
The snow carpeted the floor of the mature pine forest, sparkling in the crisp, still, freezing morning air. A solitary raven croaked in the distance, it's familiar sound carrying across an otherwise silent, arctic wilderness as I strained my ears, searching for the first faint noise of the approaching herd.
The dogs' barking, barely audible, reached me through the trees followed very shortly by the distant, melodic clanging of the reindeer's bell. They were coming.
In a bid to be in the best position for filming 5000 reindeer spilling onto the surface of the frozen River Skellefte in North Sweden, Tomme Svensson had taken us the previous evening along the route from the reindeer corral, down to the river and now, this morning, we had set out shortly after 6am to re trace the route and get into position.
Reindeer herding is a unique and traditional way of life for a small, privileged number of Sami folk in the northern part of Scandinavia. Prehistoric artefacts indicate that the Sami have occupied the region and have been engaged in reindeer herding since as early as 800AD; long before the Scandinavian states emerged and the lands were subsequently colonised; and this traditional past still has a strong bearing in how the Sami live today. Even though, out of a current population of 17,000, only 3000 Sami are directly involved in reindeer herding, it's a rare Sami person indeed who isn't related to, or at the very least doesn't know, somebody from one of the herding communities. Modernisation has influenced every aspect of the Sami's life, and assimilation into their host nation's culture is near total, but reindeer herding is still founded on a traditional way of life, requiring a closeness to the herd and nature in general because of the animals' instinctive migratory behaviour. Even with the farming in its modernised form, with skidoos, cars and mobile communications, the reindeer are at the very heart of the Sami culture, and are the basis for existence of the Sámeby communities.
In April 2004, I travelled to the small village of Jörn in Sweden, where I spent several days with the Mausjaur Forest Sami group, as they worked tirelessly, preparing the herd of 5000 animals for the 120km Spring migration, across frozen lakes, rivers and marshes and through snow-clad forests between Jörn in the east and Arvidsjaur in the west.
The unofficial country of Sápmi that spans the northern borders of Norway, Sweden and Finland, and the Kola Peninsula in Russia is where the Sami call their home, and within this region, territories, called Sámeby (lit: Sami Village), are mapped out to assist in the controlled herding of reindeer groups. The Mausjaur territory extends from Skellefteå on the Bothnian coast, inland along the Skellefte River as far west as Arvidsjaur, and encompasses 3600 square kilometres north of the river. It's a region of mature pine wilderness, wide rivers, narrow streams, vast lakes, hills and marshes. Commonly encountered wildlife includes, brown bears, wolves, wolverines, martens, elk, ravens, crossbills, whooper swans, woodpeckers and, of course, the all important reindeer.
Territories are further divided into summer and winter areas that support the reindeers' specific feeding behaviour; the winter ground being nearer to the coast where the climate is marginally warmer and the ground more heavily forested, resulting in less snow cover, making it easier for the reindeer to reach the forest floor for feeding. Also, some of the more mature forests provide tree-hanging lichens, which offer the reindeer a valuable feeding alternative in the harsh winters, when the ground's snow cover might be compacted and impenetrable.
The summer area is found inland to the west and extends to include higher, mountainous ground above the pine forests. Two distinct types of Sami group have emerged over the centuries: Those that migrate out of the forests in the summer and onto the open mountains; and those that remain in the forest all year round. Lotta Svensson explains, "Because the Mountain Sami spend so much of their time in remote parts of the country, their culture is more traditional than the Forest Sami who are merging more and more with outsiders and their influences." "It's easy for them to look at us [Forest Sami] with contempt and distrust," she continues, "but we want to preserve our traditional ways and heritage just the same as they do."
The story of the Mausjaur group can be traced back to 1886 when the Sámeby territories were originally formed. Members have continually changed through the years, sometimes increasing in numbers, sometimes falling. Today the group is a tight knit community, comprising six Reindeer Keepers and their respective families: The six men are Mikael, Göran and Johan Jonsson; Tomme Svensson, and Lennart and Martin Persson. The ages range from Johan at 19 to Göran at 56. There's no hierarchy within the group and no one person holds any higher authority than any other, although Mikael is the nominated spokesman for the Mausjaur at meetings with other Sámeby.
The Swedish state has delineated a specific border that separates all-year-round grazing land to the mountainous west of the region, from the lower, forested east part of the region. Within the highland summer area, the Sami enjoy full customary rights to the grazing with the freedom to come and go as they please. However, the stipulation is that all herding communities cannot cross the boundary and enter the winter area with the herd before the 1st September, and they must complete the return migration and fully exit the winter area by the 1st May. Grazing rights within the winter area are not covered in detail by Swedish law and so disputes are inevitable.
Although Sami Reindeer Herders are entitled to customary grazing rights on the land they occupy, most of that land is owned, either by the state, by large forestry companies or by small private land owners (SPLOs). Because of conflicts of interests between the relevant parties, legislations have been created that are intended to serve the Forestry companies and the Reindeer Herders and allow them to work alongside each other without disharmony. In practice the large forestry companies are utilising the system fairly and flexibly, as per Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) guidelines, that take into consideration the Sami's reindeer husbandry needs, whereas many of the SPLOs, not bound by the FSC, are finding the regulations not to their suiting and are slowly but steadily pushing the Sami out of their land holdings by expensive court actions that the Sami are ill-financed to defend against. Unfortunately for the Sami, to call on their customary grazing rights, they have to prove a long tradition of herding on the land in question, proof that is required in documented form. The Sami language has only taken written form in the last century; so admissible evidence by those criteria is simply unavailable, leaving the future of those particular herding communities in considerable doubt.
Picturesque: Arvidsjaur Church
The precise timing of the spring migration is derived from a fine balancing act between the prevailing weather conditions, the state of the ground under foot (or hoof), which determines if the reindeer can feed unassisted or not, and the legislative requirement that all reindeer are herded across the winter/summer boundary by the 1st May.Normally, the weather would be improving towards the end of March allowing the preparations for the move to commence with plenty of time to spare before the deadline. However, this year (2004) 40cm of snow fell on the Mausjaur territory over the weekend of 20/21 March, causing much concern among the Sámeby, as this was exactly the kind of weather that would scupper their best laid plans. As a further burden, the added snow cover means that ground mosses and lichens are inaccessible and supplementary feeding is necessary to allow the reindeer to build up their strength for the imminent migration; feeding that comes in the form of pellets and hay bales, both quite costly. Fortunately, the snowfall that weekend was not indicative of more bad weather on the way and only represented a very short setback in the Mausjaur's plans.
By the last week of March the big thaw is very much underway. Huge wet snowdrifts can be seen hanging off the house roofs about town, slowly sagging under their own weight until, with a heavy "crummphh" they fall to the ground below. All about is the sound of dripping water and as the grey skies give way to blue, the daylight hours increase by 8 or 9 minutes every day. Rivers and lakes are still frozen but patches of open water are beginning to appear.

Using Surfer's Logarithmic contour level method, how are the minor contours created? They appear to be linear.
When the Level method is set to Logarithmic, the major contour lines occur at the decades (0.1, 1, 10, 100, 1000, etc.). The distance from 1 to 10 is the same as the distance from 10 to 100. This is a proper logarithmic scaling with log values of equal spacing.
You then have the option to specify the number of minor contour levels per decade (the default is 8). So between the major contour lines at 1 and 10, consider the 8 minor levels at 2, 3, 4 , 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. These are not the same distance apart. The distance from 9 to 10 is much smaller than the distance from 1 to 2. The actual numbers (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) are linear, but what makes them logarithmic is the unequal spacing between them.
The major contour lines at the decades are logarithmic values that are equally spaced, and the minor contour lines are linear values that are logarithmically spaced.
If you would like an option to display the minor contours with a logarithmic distribution, please email surfersupport@goldensoftware.com.

John Oliver Responds: 'Your Move Danbury'
John Oliver Twitter
John Oliver called out Danbury, CT for no reason, Danbury Mayor, Mark Boughton, jokingly responded by saying he would name the City sewage plant after Oliver and John has fired back at that by saying he will donate to our charities if the plant is named after him. "Your Move Danbury."
He really took the easiest road home. Yes, we will accept your charity dollars, should the Mayor name the sanitation plant after you, but he won't (I don't think)? What you wanted to do was give us a thrashing, including our children, right?
You've had offers from me, a local boxing club and many others. Those responses did not work for you? John Oliver, you addressed a portion of a response from the Danbury Hat Tricks Hockey Team.
You are not getting off that easy, you called for a fight. Let's have one. All I want in return if you lose is for you to take your s-----y British TV with you back home. I mean it, talk to your Hollywood friends and take the "The Crown", Downton Abbey and every other piece of milk toast British garbage and go back home. Ricky Gervais can stay, he's actually funny.
Answer the challenge you laid down, fight someone. I told you what I want if you lose, name your price for victory, although it's pointless.
Mayor Mark tweeted back to John Oliver to say "we are on it. Standby".
Let's go, John Oliver. It's on. It's been on.

Los Angeles-based rock band Owl – Chris Wyse (vocals/bass), Dan Dinsmore (drums), Jason Achilles Mezilis (guitar/vocals) – just released their new album, The Right Thing, on April 9th via Overit Records.
"We were an unstoppable force in the studio," says frontman Wyse. "This album is heavy and bombastic, and is our unorthodox ode to rock."
The Right Thing roars to life with opening salvo "Destroyer," in which Owl transforms The Kinks' classic into a swaggering futuristic stomper. The title track boasts a propulsive drumbeat that drives into staggering distortion and teeters between brooding and hypnotic. Elsewhere, Wyse delves into his Irish roots on the rousing "Rover" and the band welcomes guest drummer Johnny Tempesta of The Cult on the tribal-beat driven track, "All Day."
After releasing their self-titled debut in 2009, Owl captivated audiences alongside the likes of Helmet, Jet and Hollywood all-star rock collective Camp Freddy. Between touring and recording commitments with Wyse's other gig - playing bass in The Cult - Owl began writing what would become the band's self-produced The Right Thing in early 2011.
Approaching timeless rock structures through a healthy amount of experimentation and instrumental intricacy, Owl takes flight locked and loaded with unforgettable hooks and impressive delivery on The Right Thing. It's a combination that instantly impacts and takes up residence inside your head as all great hard rock should.
Do the right thing: Check out Owl's electrifying new album and catch them on the road.

Coachella Report, Friday, April 17: They Call Her Warrior Queen for a Reason
Randall Roberts April 18, 2009
We're going to provide a more detailed analysis of Warrior Queen's amazing sunset moment in the hours to come, but wanted to offer this quickie picture of her and collaborator The Bug's huge Gobi tent victory. Mixing dancehall, dubstep and bass that'll jiggle your tummy, the pair dropped an absolutely thrilling, bawdy, raucous set, the kind that'll stick in some memories. She reminded me of Muddy Waters up there, or James Brown. Holy moly.
More moments to come, including snapshots of Paul McCartney's three-hour star-turn, an on-the-scenes report on Buraka Som Sistema's rhythm clusterfuck, an appreciation of hearing Leonard Cohen do "Hallelujah" at sunset (many tears were shed, for sure), Molotov's cover of the Misfits' "I Turned Into a Zombie," and too many more. It was an amazing day of music. It really was. We'll try and capture it.

Cornell Professor of Economics: Defi Promise Is Real but Bitcoin May Not Last Much Longer
A Cornell University economics professor says that the promise of decentralized finance (defi) using blockchain technology is real but bitcoin may not last that much longer. Nonetheless, he admitted bitcoin "has really set off a revolution that ultimately might benefit all of us either directly or indirectly."
Economics Professor Doubts Future of Bitcoin, Praises Defi
Eswar Prasad, professor of economics at Cornell University, talked about bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, decentralized finance (defi), and central bank digital currencies in a recent interview with CNBC, published Friday.
Prasad, the author of "The Future of Money: How the Digital Revolution is Transforming Currencies and Finance," is the Nandlal P. Tolani senior professor of trade policy and professor of economics at the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University. He previously served as chief of the financial studies division in the International Monetary Fund (IMF)'s research department and head of the IMF's China division.
Noting that blockchain technology will be "fundamentally transformative" in finance and in the way we conduct our day-to-day transactions, he opined:
The professor of economics explained: "Bitcoin's use of the blockchain technology is not very efficient. It uses a validation mechanism for transactions that is environmentally destructive that doesn't scale up very well."
He asserted that there are newer cryptocurrencies that use blockchain technology far more efficiently than bitcoin does.
"With any assets, the question is where is the fundamental value proposition," he continued, adding:
He proceeded to discuss currency competition and stablecoins. "There is an interesting element of currency competition that it has set off. There are stablecoins now that could, in principle, create more effective ways of transacting in basic ways," he described.
The professor added that cryptocurrencies have "lit a fire under central banks to start thinking about issuing digital versions of their own currencies."
Professor Prasad explained that central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) "could be good in many ways in terms of providing an additional payment option, a low cost payment option that everybody has access to, increasing financial inclusion, and potentially also increasing financial stability."
He concluded:
Much as you might not like bitcoin, it has really set off a revolution that ultimately might benefit all of us either directly or indirectly.
